我认为选D

E中but symptomatic of another problem应该改为symptom of another problem, 但不清楚D中，but it is...的并列形式是否可以？

不知道有没有type错误，否则E中but symptomatic of another problem的symptomatic用词明显错误。

From Longman:

symptomatic of
The rise in unemployment is symptomatic of a general decline in the economy.

So E is not a problem

那这道题究竟选什么呢？是选A还是B呢？not just-but also 和not only-but also 是一样的吗？

GMAT考试，意思的合理性永远是第一位的。

这个要顶，醍醐灌顶般猛然惊醒！

A的问题1是that不知道修饰problem或中心词symptom，2是如果修饰problem意思错，3是限制性修饰不恰当。

简直字字珠玑！

坚决不赞成E，which不能是前面的drugs，也不能代表一件事。

In 2000, a mere two dozen products accounted for half the increase in spending on prescription drugs,which occurred not just because of more expensive drugs but because doctors have also written

我拥护B

补充一句，在google上搜索一下，感觉not just,,,but also没有错。

e.g.

I would view it as an extension of one’s right to one’s body, not just self-ownership but also the right to modify oneself according to one’s desires.

Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

1. an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications
   
2. an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications
   

   
   

3. so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction
   

   
   

4. so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
   

   
   

5. so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

E错，原因：

1．不平行。明明有symptom做n.与condition平行，ETS决不会用一个a.去做正确选项，否则就是自己打自己嘴巴子。OG204，虽然partly to do和partly because在我们看来不是最完美的平行，但它至少还有partly是平行的，而且ETS在解释这道题的时候，也强调了in part和partly不平行，以此作为排除错误选项的依据。据此，我们可以看出平行是不可违背的。然而E，却是看不到一点平行的影子，这样的选项，怎么可能被ETS当作正确选项？？？

2．maybe ... 对another problem起非限定性修饰作用，我不明白为什么众多NN认为这是符合逻辑的在握看来，非限定性的修饰才恰恰是不符合逻辑意思的非限定性，那意思不就是“所有的problem都是reaction, anxiety, or stress”？？这显然不对啊，应该是“特定的一些problem才是reaction, anxiety, or stress”吧。这里“another problem, maybe a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview”的错误，我觉得很像OG220的D选项“a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788”的错误（a hundred years is defined as a period beginning in 1788），用在这里就是another problem is defined as maybe ...

以下是引用rt316在2004-6-13 3:05:00的发言：

另外，还想补充一下，关于限定性定从的修饰，我在一开始选择的时候也的确没有注意，但现在看来，这是一个大问题。从逻辑上讲，a reaction / anxiety / stress是并列的，但是，限定性定从的介入使得短语的平行发生混乱，有其他两种解释：A－a symptom / anxiety / stress平行；B－problem / anxiety / stress平行。所以，我现在觉得，还是E更合适一点。

按照你的理解，E同样可以看成是problem /anxiety /stress平行，同样不对。我觉得这个不是这题的考点，你这种理解有点鸡蛋里挑骨头的感觉

支持A

1．that修饰problem，无论是语法还是逻辑都没错，尤其是限定性修饰，在我看来，更是正确的

2．not ... so much as ... 没问题，更是完美的平行
